Hi!
Well, several countries' governments do block Skype. They have a different
interpretation of "legal". I totally agree with your sentament, but you
won't achieve your aim on this list, or at least I suspect it is unlikely.
Of course, if someone in one of those governments sees your message and
recognises the good sense that it does explain, all well and good. There are
no doubt more useful things you could do.
I recognise you play the blind card. That's OK if it works. Of course there
is at least one country whose government claims there are no blind people in
their country. Wouldn't you like to be the first? I suspect Skype is
probably blocked there as well. Skype is probably just one service that is
blocked in North Korea. Receiving Email is likely seen as too risky there,
too.
Bad as these problems are, there are others closer to home that are just as
rediculous. If you're ever outside the US, try to get books out of RFBD on
line, and you'll know how it feels.
Sorry to post an off topic message, but then this thread never was on topic,
so why should it change now?
Cheers,
Dave

Hello there I have a couple of questions and an oppinion and I just want
to say that it's not personal at all here!
what the h-e-double-toothpicks does your government and or other
businesses think they're doing?
do they think that they can just block an internet telephony program such
as skype just because the say it's "illegally used for comercial
perposes"?
If they just think that they can block skype because they don't even look
at the bloddy skype website whatsoever to see what it's all about and how
skype is essential for many people who are blind-visually impaired and or
how skype helps other blind-visually impaired people with keeping their
long-distance call bills on their phones down so that those people who
call their friends and families who are outside that particular country
and that skype lets those people all around the world connect to others
and that skype isn't being used for something illegal at all!
If I had my way and if I was there and if I was part of the excuse my
language "the fucking" government and or some of those businesses I would
overthrow that nonsense and arrest all those people and throw them in
prison for petty bullying!
I'm not exactly bashing anyone here but as this is just my oppinion and I
believe that I would restrict the goddamn government and some of those
businesses there in that particular location from using their excuse my
language again "the fucking bastards" who use their own computers for
internet perposes!
If you people over there are being restricted from using skype then your
government and or those businesses who are doing this just because they
don't want you using skype for no reason should then forever be restricted
from using their goddamn phones and their computers and other things
related to the goddamn internet!
I just don't believe that people there in your particular location should
be restricted from using a program such as skype because the government
and or some of those businesses don't want to check it out before
assuming that skype was"being used for illegal commercial perposes" and
thinking that skype was "a bad program" for you people to use!
Isay and I hope that someof those idiotsover there are listening that they
need to "checkthingslike skype out" before assuming things like that!
Now please don't thake it as if I was angry at anyone here on this list
I'm not!
"THOSE PEOPLE WHO DO SUCH CHILDISH THINGS LIKE THATAND THINK THEY CAN GET
AWAY WITH IT NEED TO GROW UP!"
Just to clerify that last sentance I'm not angry at anyone here on this
list for that post!
I'm just angry with the situation and how you people in that particular
location are being treated!
and also I'm furious with how some of the other people who work in some
of those businesses and or governments in other locations that are also
blocking skype and other programs are bloody-well treating those people
like "children" and I WON'T STAND FOR THAT!
I hate to see people like you being left out!
there!
that's my 2-cents worth!
Feel freeto comment if you wish!

Hi, I'm just wondering about your location. Where are you living? Are you
living in UAE? Then you're correct!
Skype is blocked in UAE by most I S Ps.
The only way is using a VPN service to connect to Skype. When I was in
Iran, I had to do that because Iran is blocking Skype. If you want more
info then write me private. Thanks.
HTH,
Armond
